Two leading ladies, Mariah Carey and Madonna, leapfrog over Elvis Presley in the Billboard charts record book this week.
As expected, Mariah Carey moves past Elvis Presley andinto sole possession of second place for most No. 1s in the rock era,as "Touch My Body" soars 15-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become her18th chart-topper. With her album "E=MC2" yet to hit retail, Careymight equal the Beatles' record of 20 No. 1s before her set runs itscourse.
"Body's" blast to No. 1 is fueled by a record-settingdebut week digital tally of 286,000 downloads. That sum, good enoughfor the No. 1 slot on Hot Digital Songs, surpasses the 277,000downloads labelmate Rihanna opened with in the June 9, 2007, issue withher summer smash "Umbrella."
Presley will also be nudged from his standing as theartist with the most top 10s in the rock era, as Madonna surpasses himwith her 37th top 10, "4 Minutes." The track, which features JustinTimberlake, clocks a 68-3 jump. Previous to the establishment of theBillboard Hot 100 in 1958, the industry standard chart was the BestSellers in Stores tally, where Presley scored his first 12 top 10s.
Like Carey's "Touch," Madonna's Hot 100 jump isspurred by stupendous download sales. "4 Minutes" shifts 217,000 in itsfirst week of wide release (it had been available as a Verizonexclusive) to enter Hot Digital Songs at No. 2.
This is the first time since NielsenSoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003 that two titles debutsimultaneously on Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloadseach. The week also marks the best single-week digital tally in eitherartist's career. |
